The plan on Saturday was to be held an extraordinary meeting of the Executive Committee, which had to raise fares. And the plan was routed through the Commission and on Saturday we demand the convening of the Executive Committee, where forced to increase the tariff, and on Monday we’ve been going for six!”, – posted by Grog.
